Corporate memphis does incorporate a sort of identity vagueness.

Almost all human features, body, skincolor are in a uncanny valley. Non-personal enough to be general yet similar enough to be relatable to pretty much any theoretical demographic.

In reality it falls flat. Many people (non partisan) dislike it because of how artificial and shallow it feels.

What it is definitely not is a deep plot to change the social perception of checks note people with non idealistic body features.

Google has no economic incentive to improve your opinion of disabled people who are equally part of this group you appear to find non acceptable to exist in the workforce.

You mean this gives off a pink floyd vibe right?

This isn’t a reference to a really existing obscure song?

I am scared i have now lost my opportunity to shine with my obsession of obscure Pink Floyd tracks by not knowing what song you refer too.

For real most devs are just happy you enjoy their work.

The only ones losing money are shareholders and they barely lose enough to make a trickle of a dent.

Honestly if X guy could please hurry up and buy this company.

I need them to go bankrupt or have become illegal before they send some actual junk into space. And if they do send something it needs to have stupid decisions by a higher up so it cant actually remain up there and ruin the nights further.

They dont explain it though.

I presume the kidneys dies out on its own and the cells get recycled by the body?

Yt-dlp supports sponsorblock, i am not worried.

I also dont even need tools for this as my usual style of watching is with my fingers on the arrow keys to skip back and forth

Yt-dlp download script + text file with fav channel urls + jellyfin.

No bullshit, saves bandwidth.

Also look into invidious.

The same reasons as open source software devs.

I find myself in agreement with your perspective although my own perspective is very different.

I have naturally shy’d away from existing philosophical literature and influences because i felt they stopped me from coming up with answers myself. Just like you i find great joy in exploring solutions to mystery.

I have been exploring the concepts of my concious and the reality i find in a very to me organized and structured (autistic) way but as i side effects i have my own interpretation of concepts like what is “information” (the relation between more then a single something )

While i find my concepts often don't translate well in language compared with conventional knowledge its critical to note that as i am reading up more as a matured person I find it adds to my personal understanding rather then contradicting it.

I received a lot of knowledge from playing the outer wilds and things like the dual slit experiment but i assure you i don't take games literally and most knowledge gaining is connecting pre existing dots in my head after being inspired.

There is a good reason why my comment may seem mystifying,

Part is rooted in an observation i made that objective truth can never be fully known. But hear me out.

All our observations are made trough a subjective lens is too easy of an argument i also have a historical example to illustrate.

The plague mask and outfit used flowers because knowledged people at the time thought the sick was in the smell. We know this is not true but the general idea was close enough and it did have a noticeable benefitial effect.

The breakthrough is also important in the chain that lead to further knowledge later on.

The science was incorrect but also good enough to be useful.

In the same pattern we believe we understand most materials but a more advanced future scientist could know things that leaves us no better then the plague doctors in general.

I made an important secondary conclusion based on experience.

There is no benefit to be gained by dismissing the most reasonable incorrect knowledge when there is no reasonable “more correct” interpretation to be found.

I am still not convinced these translate my thoughts well but what this second part odoes is solve the mystic sentiment you mention.

We should strive to find solutions to the unknown because we know there is useful knowledge to be gained.

We should apply the reasonable knowledge we find to better our understanding and lives.

But what we should also do and this is the sentiment i am personally worried about is keep looking beyond our understanding and keep trying to challenge what we do know.

What i initially found when exploring quantum mechanics is that early ideas where dismissed because they challenged what we thought we knew well and thats a line of thinking i find personally shocking when coming for i scientist. I salivate when reality breaks my initial understanding of reality because its such an opportunist. Finding out just how wrong you are is a major step to get more correct.

I do have additional personal bias because of my differences in interpretation. I cant be put it more fairly then this “i experience some kind of dogma about established knowledge when i present my own interpretation of often the same concept, which worries me for our ability to evolve our understanding of the concept” This happens frequently so i experience a surplus of dogmatic scientific arguments around me. Even if they may not be as dogmatic if new knowledge was present in a compatible interpretation.

I hope this clarified my posts a bit, thanks for the detailed reply.

To elaborate i need to give you some context, which is that i originally studied game design and i have a autistic-philosophical interpretation of the world and logic as “(game) mechanics”

If i lack sleep i get tired -> basic game mechanic of the real world.

I can go very far with that and id love to give you all the details of conscious mechanics a comment wont do it justice and just because i can understand the world trough such lens does not mean others do.

So with this background you might infer i like to play games, and immerse first persons puzzle games are a special favorite if mine.

Que “Outer Wilds” back then just an experimental alpha I believe but its to date one of my most favorite games. Literally life changing in how it gave me an intuitive understanding of the basic rules of quantum mechanics, who as far as i understand is the scientific frontier. A person who would state they fully understand quantum mechanics is the last person i would trust to have any understanding of it.

This game made me shift my gears, once i realized this was based on real science and not just a cool game play feature i had to gain quantum knowledge in real life and i watched some recordings of Mitt classes on superposition just to get a better understanding.

Now quantum science isn’t exactly philosophy, ive always been interested in philosophy but its by studying quantum mechanics, inspired by that game that i learned about the mechanic of emerging properties. I think on a video about the dual slit experiment.

I internally quickly put together that a song/music is an emerging properties of musical notes. Music can change our emotions in intentional ways so music is a form intelligence. So intelligent systems can emerge from parts that have no intelligence of their own.

At that point i did not yet know that emergence was already a known topic in philosophy just quantum science, because i still tried to avoid external influences but it really was the breakthrough I needed and i have gained many new insights from this knowledge since.

I am not in disagreement, and i hope you wont take offense to what i am saying but you strike me as someone quite new to philosophy in general.

Your asking good questions and indeed science has not solved the mind body problem yet.

I know these questions well because i managed to find my personal answers to them and therefor no longer need to ask these.

In context of understanding that nothing can truly be known and our facts are approximated conclusions from limit ape brains. Conscious to me is no longer that much of a mystery.

Much of my personal answer can be found in the ideas of emergence, which you might have heard about in context if ai. Personally i got my first taste from that knowledge pre-ai from playing video games

A warning though: i am a huge believer that philosophy must be performed and understood on a individual basis. I actually have for the longest time perceived any official philosophy teaching or book to be toxic because they where giving me ideas to build on without me Requiring to come to the same conclusion first.

It is impossible to avoid this, the 2 philosophers school did end up teaching me (plato and decartis) did end up annoyingly influential (i cant not agree with them). but i can proudly say that nowadays it more likely to recognize an idea as something i covered then i can recognize the people who where first to think it.

llms are a brilliant tool to explore philosophy topics because it can fluently mix ideas without the same rigidness as a curriculun, and yes i do believe they can be used to explore certain parts of consciousness (but i would suggest first studying human consciousness before extrapolating psychology from ai behavior)

Yes, here is a good start: “ https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/how-llms-work-explained-without-math ”

They are no longer the black boxes from the beginning. We know how to suppress or maximized features like agreeability, sweet talking, lying.

Someone with resources could easily build a llm that is convinced it is self aware. No question this has been done many times beyond closed doors.

I encourage everyone to try and play with llms for future experience but i cant take the philosophy part of this serious knowing its a super programmed/limited llm rather then a more raw and unrefined model like llama 3
